  1. Or possibly that with your increased awareness of the language, and constant nitpick of the translations, you began to stopped caring? There was a time I was infuriated with the mis-translations, but now I only laugh at them. Anyway, it was unfortunate the Nodame Cantabile was not up to your taste. I particularly find the pervert Stresemann and how he introduced himself as Milch Holstein (Milk Cow) to be very funny, and how his professional career is so opposite of his real character. Especially how he selected a band of misfits for his special orchestra. Will start to watch Agito soon as I have already acquired up to episode 43.
  2. Ah yes! That's exactly what I meant. Remember I was asking for that function when we were talking about skipping the spoilers? I'll check it out. Traditional wiki has them, so I'm not sure if those codes will also apply to wikimedia. Crap! I took a peek at wiki, and it's sooo complex. It has templates within templates within templates.
  3. Say what? Uh.... can you explain that a little, I'm a little confused. Do you mean a command that can hide certain parts of the article to condense the page? We are talking about the wiki right? If that's what your talking about, I would also like to know if we can do that. As I plan to use that on the main page so I don't have to think about what needs to be said about any updated pages. However, we could do a separate episode list to contain the ratings, but we also need to put the summary and detailed information for each episode. Unless someone is stupid kind enough to do it, it's a task which I am unable to undertake at my current capacity.
  4. Alright, here are the ratings for fourze, and basically, this is everything: # Subtitle Broadcast date Ratings 01 Blue・Spring・Change・Body 2011/09/04 6.3% 02 Deep・Space・Very・Good 2011/09/11 7.2% 03 Woman・Ruler・Selection・Process 2011/09/18 5.5% 04 Transform・Illusion・Secret・Maneuver 2011/09/25 6.7% 05 Friend・ship・two・sides 2011/10/02 7.7% 06 Electric・Shock・only・way 2011/10/09 5.8% 07 Lord・King・the・rascal 2011/10/16 Do note that I took great liberties with the translation as the subtitles are 4 separate kanji that are viewed as independent but can form words or phrases. And the only way to preserve the essence is if I ignore the traditional direct translation. For reference on the ratings, I've already posted the average ratings of each rider series in the KR series page. For easy reference, click here. That's basically how the information is presented. Rather raw if you asked me. Which is why I considered to integrate it into the episode list of the respective KR pages. Because aside from the ratings itself, all the other information is already listed in the episode list. I'm also not comfortable having too many pages for a single title. Of course multiple pages are unavoidable, but in this case, I don't think it's practical to have a separate page for each of the ratings. edit: crap, the tables didn't show, had to re-edit them.
  5. Yes, watch Captain America. Captain America may not be one of the original founders of the Avengers, but he is certainly one of the core members of the team, and had great influence over the team. I mean, everyone considers him as the "Living Legend". I guarantee that you will feel awestruck at the first half of the movie, looking at the struggles of a scrawny Steve Rogers and how he overcame his peers to become the first super soldier.
  6. Perhaps I can point you lovely people to this thread:
  7. Moving ahead.... How important is the ratings for the show? If you noticed, I added a ratings summary for all the riders in the Kamen Rider Series page (highest, lowest and average). I still have information about ratings for each episode (again, information not found in the english wiki OR the Japanese wiki ). If you think it is necessary, I can either create a ratings page solely for the ratings of each episode, or I can incorporate them into the wiki of each rider page since each rider page has an episode list. I am of the opinion of incorporating it into the episode list. But my question remains, how important is the ratings, and how relevant is it for the readers? If it's not necessary, I guess I'll just skip it.
  8. Wow, was it that hard? Watching some anime, I thought these were the common phrases that are usually heard when you watch anime. Aw shucks, if I had to explain this, then my gag will be ruined. Anyways.... ã—ã¾ã£ãŸ! = Oh no! リュキ = Ryuki ㌠= IS/WAS (giving emphasis on Ryuki) 怒ã£ãŸ! = Angry 皆ã€= everyone 逃ã‚!!!! = run!!! (冗談) = kidding Analyzing it further, do pardon me as I used too much colloquial words. perhaps if I rephrased it like so: ã—ã¾ã£ãŸ! ãƒªãƒ¥ã‚­ãŒæ€’りã¾ã—ãŸ! 皆ã•ã‚“,逃ã’ã—ãªã•ã„!
  9. Awesome! Typical marvel, doesn't show who the villain is.
  10. ã—ã¾ã£ãŸ! ãƒªãƒ¥ã‚­ãŒæ€’ã£ãŸ! 皆ã€é€ƒã‚!!!! (冗談) ã—ã¾ã£ãŸ! りゅããŒãŠã“ã£ãŸ! ã¿ã‚“ãªã€ã«ãŒã‚!!!! (ã˜ã‚‡ã†ã ã‚“)
  11. Well, Agito makes references to Kuuga. I think in Agito it mentions that years has passed since the threat of the Unidentified life forms was over. So it may seem like they're in the same continuity. But story wise, I don't think they are interconnected.

  13. Ah, I had to give up my Nokia C3-00 in lieu of the Blackberry Curve 8520. This was an office phone so I had no choice. But I was forced to get an add-on data+BB plan due to the office requirement of having a blackberry service. Although the office did provide the sim, I opted not to get it as I don't want to change my mobile number and have to message everyone in my contact list that I have changed my mobile number because it is a freaking hassle. *breath* Anyway, I loved the functionality of the Blackberry service, but I hate the phone. It doesn't have 3G so surfing is really, really slow. It's a shame too, since I can't maximize the unlimited data plan that comes with the add-on. Just for comparison, the additional blackberry plan is just $15 or 11 Euro.
  14. Wow, I'm actually flattered that you'd consider my side project as one of the sites core focus. Aesthetically speaking, I can't comment as I have tastes as bland as a rock. Functionally speaking, I think it's about time the main page get's cleaned up. I think the news feature is a good informative window. I'll try to analyze it later, right now I'm kinda occupied with something to actually think straight.
  15. I think it's too early to define the story as I think they are currently in the "getting to know you" stage. Besides, with the current trend of merchandise sales of Kamen Rider related items, it has been on an all time high. So even if they screw this series up, I don't think they would mind since they can still "milk" their "cash cow". As for the writer, it's Nakashima Kazuki. Doesn't seem to have any prior experience to Kamen Rider except episode 33 & 34 of KR W. Hopefully the story will pick up once they change writers. It seems to be a standard for all KR series to have a rotation of writers. Good news is that Sanjo Riku seems to be involved as a writer. He was the main writer for W.
  16. It's not an error actually, but more on a mistake on my part. I wasn't planning on discussing the Kamen Rider page, but accidentally pressed the "discussion button" on the wiki page. It was my intention to discuss Fourze, but instead of pressing the discussion button for Fourze, I accidentally pressed the one for Kamen Rider. Well, given the current situation, my explanation is probably moot now. Anyway, I'm just placing the placeholder in case anyone is interested in putting something useful in the wiki. If not, I'll get there eventually.
  17. Well, if you guys are complaining about how generic Fourze is, nothing beats the showa riders as being the most generic. I mean, aside from Amazon, all of them are cyborgs. All of them wages war against a secret organization, which almost all of their origins involve escaping the said secret organization.

    Hao! Mecha. It's really been a long time. Oh, speaking of the old guyverboard, any of you saved my translation for the TV series? I was hoping we could incorporate that into the guyver wiki we have here. *Throws box of Starcraft II at Mecha* Anyway, I've an easy question. Got anything on the next expansion?
  19. Since Fourze is currently airing, it is simply fair to also provide a wiki for it in our PTW. I actually intended to discuss Fourze but I mistakenly click the wrong page (hence the page: Kamen Rider thread. Sorry Ryuki.). I'm placing this as a placeholder so do pardon the errors as I have never seen a single episode of this. I'm lining up all the prospected pages, so if any of you guys are willing to contribute, please feel free to add more info. That way, I won't have to rely on the Japanese wiki and use the information you guys provided instead.
  20. Another project of PTW, featuring the first among them all. I will say this with pride. Our Kamen Rider Wiki is superior in information versus the traditional wiki. Although I might have difficulty getting images for this series, but I'm very optimistic that I'll be able to find it. I've also checked that TW has the audio for this series, so we'll definitely have the bigger edge.
  21. This is the discussion topic for the wiki article: Kamen Rider Fourze
  22. This is the discussion topic for the wiki article: Kamen Rider
  23. I prefer Black Widow in the shiny spandex look. Spandex makes her curve much more prominent than the one she is wearing. Is it me or is her costume too thick? Maybe show a little more cleavage? Maybe I'm looking at it in the wrong perspective. Or maybe I was thinking too much of Sienna Miller in her Baroness costume.
  24. Yes, I'd also like to include images as well, but I'm somewhat poor at that department. Arts is not one of my best virtues. I'm concentrating more on content. Once it's filled, it would be much easier to include nice and shiny images. But I do have an idea of adding some small icons or thumbnails in the featured pages.
  25. Strange enough, when I searched using the string "Masked Rider" a lot of the results came up with "Kamen Rider", and vice versa. I think this is no longer a debate whether to use "Maked" of "Kamen", since fans will be looking for neither, but for let's say, Kuuga or Faiz. I think Masked Rider has already become synonymous with Kamen Rider, since Kamen Rider is now already an accepted vernacular. I don't think we need to rack our brains for this as each rider already has it's distinct identification. Notice when we discuss a series, we mention Blade, Hibiki, OOO or even Fourze, and we often omit the "Kamen/Masked Rider" part.
